Chapter 123
The sneaking black shadow was determined to succeed, and the dagger in his hand stabbed Gu Shian mercilessly.
Just when he was about to succeed, Gu Shian suddenly turned his head, grabbed the black shadow's arm with lightning speed, kicked the man's knee hard, and threw the black shadow to his knees with a backhand throw, pinning him to the goose soft stone on the river beach, unable to move.
You know, goose soft stone is very hard. The man groaned, and was held and wanted to resist, attacking Gu Shian's lower abdomen, but he didn't expect Gu Shian to be so cruel, and he broke his two arms at once.
The black shadow's face was distorted with pain, and cold sweat was dripping. Xu Xiangqian came back from the wild, saw this scene, and ran over in three or five steps.
"Old Gu, you're going to launch a sneak attack so soon?"
"It's not a sneak attack?"
"What is it?"
"It's an enemy spy."
"Enemy spy?"
Xu Xiangqian was startled at first, then his face became serious. He went up and pulled off the black cloth on the black shadow's face, revealing a face that he didn't expect, and his heart was even more shocked.
"Ma Renyi? Why is it you!"
Not only was Big Head Brother shocked, but the county's leadership team also didn't expect that this newly arrived armed forces captain was actually a spy planted by the enemy.
Ma Renyi was locked up in a temporary interrogation tent, his face full of anger and despair.
If he hadn't been desperate, he wouldn't have chosen to take action at this time. His superiors gave him two choices, one was to complete the task successfully, and the other was to solve the problem of Gu Shian.
Once the mission failed and Ma Renyi was arrested, the Ma family would not be able to escape.
Outside the temporary interrogation tent, there were militia comrades patrolling back and forth. Facing the heavily guarded interrogation room, it was simply impossible for the spies outside to rescue him.
Ma Renyi was still unwilling to fail. Although he was desperate, he still wanted to fight a desperate battle. No matter how the comrades in the county questioned him, he kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
Late at night when Ma Renyi was arrested, Wu Pandi, who was sleeping at home, was also taken away quietly.
Wu Pandi was still wearing the cotton jacket and trousers she wore when she slept at home. Her hands were handcuffed, a black cloth bag was put on her head, and something was stuffed in her mouth. She was taken to the interrogation room with her eyes wide open in fear.
Wu Pandi was not an ordinary country woman. Her mother was an opera singer in the old society. She fell in love with a rich young man in the city and got pregnant. Opera singers had a low status in the old society and were considered to be low-class people. Reputable and wealthy families would not accept such a daughter-in-law.
The rich young man was also a playboy. When he heard that the opera singer was pregnant, he immediately disappeared without a trace.
Wu Pandi's mother could not sing opera with a big belly.
After liberation, in order to make a living, Wu Pandi's mother took her to marry a man who pulled a cart as a coolie. Later, when a younger brother was born in the family, Wu Pandi became a maid at home.
Later, she married Ma Renyi, who had connections with the south. When some tasks could not be completed, Wu Pandi took over, singing opera and using beauty traps. Many people fell into her hands over the years.
Wu Pandi was arrested this time, and she wanted to use the old method on the comrades who were guarding her.
Who would have thought that she was blindfolded and handcuffed, and there were several people guarding her all the time. During the day, someone took turns to interrogate her, and the content was repeated, which was nothing more than why she came to Yunshui County, whether she knew Ma Renyi's identity as a spy, etc. At night, she was locked in a small dark room, eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping in it.
In just a few days, Wu Pandi had figured it out.
This time she was afraid she would not be able to escape.
And Gu Shian also set out from the countryside and returned home on the same day.
The old Gu family was overjoyed. When they heard Deputy Director Gu say that there was a case in the county, he didn't tell them everything, and Lin Yao didn't ask any more questions.
The spies sent by Ma Renyi couldn't contact anyone, and seeing that the best opportunity was about to pass, they simply went all out and took action to capture Gu Shian's family first.
The spies wandered around outside for several days, but couldn't find an opportunity to take action.
Until the third day, this group of people were desperate, dressed up, and threw the Wowotou dipped in pig fat into the alley, trying to lure Dahei and Erhei out, and take the opportunity to steal Yuanyuan and Doudou.
Who knew that the food at Gu's house was good, and Dahei and Erhei didn't even look at the snipes thrown by the spies. Instead, they bared their teeth and barked at the spies.
The spies didn't dare to move for a while. Gu Mancang was sweeping snow in the yard. Hearing the noise outside, he came out with a broom and met the eyes of the spies.
Although Gu Mancang was an honest man, he was also a smart honest man. He could tell at a glance that these people were not right.
It happened that a member of the special forces arranged by the county came over. The spies saw that the situation was not good and ran away.
There was only one member of the special forces, and they were unable to catch up.
On the fifth day, Yuanyuan suddenly had a "high fever" at Gu's home, and the temperature reached 39 degrees. The secret agents who were monitoring outside saw the crying "Gu Shi'an couple" holding a child and hurriedly got into the jeep.
There were only Gu Shi'an and his family of three in the car.
The jeep drove to a quiet alley and suddenly had a flat tire. Gu Shi'an got out of the car to check. As soon as the door opened, several secret agents rushed in with guns.
"Lin Yao" in the car was trembling. Just when the secret agents relaxed, Gu Shi'an suddenly turned around and attacked, knocking out two secret agents. The rest were confused. Several cars stopped on the side of the road, and a group of soldiers got out. Several secret agents were arrested in this way.
Several spies were taken in for questioning, and within one night, everything came to light.
The five rebels led by Ma Renyi were all caught.
Wu Pandi cried out to the heavens, but it was all just thunder and little rain.
In the detention center, facing the interrogation, Ma Renyi had only one condition, he wanted to see the former battalion commander's two children and Gu Shian.
The special operations team leader told Gu Shian,
and Deputy Director Gu rejected it without a second thought.
The special operations team leader was helpless, this was a Yan Wang, who could not be provoked.
Ma Renyi would not confess until he saw these people.
The special operations team leader didn't know who he went to, and finally went directly to Lin Yao.
Gu Shian found out, and gave the special operations team leader a good beating.
When the special forces captain showed up at Gu's house, his face was bruised.
"There's really no other way, Brother Gu. The higher-ups have regulations that people like this can't be punished physically, only psychologically. But this Ma Renyi doesn't care, he doesn't care about anything, he just wants to die quickly. Psychological attacks won't work on him, so I can only ask my sister-in-law for help."
The captain had a bitter smile on his face.
Gu Shian narrowed his eyes and threw a cigarette over, "I'll go see him,..."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Gu."
The captain took a puff of the cigarette and almost choked in joy.
Gu Shian went to see Ma Renyi. Unexpectedly, the battalion commander's eldest son also agreed to see Ma Renyi.
But he was going alone.
The captain thought about it and nodded. It was okay. The battalion commander had two children, and the eldest son could be regarded as a representative of the siblings.
The group set off for the detention center.
In the detention center, after not seeing each other for a few days, everyone's impression of the high-spirited and smiling Captain Ma has changed a lot. He has a scruffy beard, a bloated body, and his arms hang down. He looks powerless. His arms were temporarily removed by the doctor and later reattached by the doctor. It will take at least a week or two to heal.
"You're looking for me?"
The battalion commander's eldest son asked.
Ma Renyi raised his head, and his eyes under his messy hair revealed an indescribable complex emotion, anger, unwillingness, hatred, and even a bit of apology?
"You look a lot like your father."
After a long time, Ma Renyi spoke in a hoarse voice.
Half an hour passed, and no one knew what happened inside.
The battalion commander's eldest son was just silent after coming out.
Gu Shian didn't say a word when he got home.
Lin Yao grabbed Captain Gu's arm at home and started twisting it, "Gu Shian, what did Ma Renyi say to you?"
"Nothing, just some old things."
Lin Yao didn't quite believe it, because the guy's expression didn't seem like it.
As she expected, not long after, the special operations team leader sorted out the interrogation materials. The sacrifice of the battalion commander at that time was not an accident, but was betrayed by a traitor.
The traitor was Ma Renyi.
The younger brother of the battalion commander at that time had doubts. His eldest brother had always been careful, brave and resourceful. Even if he was surrounded by several enemies, according to his eldest brother's skills, he should be able to deal with a few people. Why was he hit by several bullets?
Moreover, the battalion commander led a special operations team with several people when he was on the mission, but in the end, only Ma Renyi survived with minor injuries, while the others all died heroically.
According to Ma Renyi, the battalion commander died to protect him.
But the battalion commander's younger brother looked at his elder brother's body and found that he was shot twice in the chest and once in the abdomen, but these were not fatal. The real fatal injury was in the heart, which was stabbed by a short sword and killed in one stroke.
According to the battalion commander's ability, he could not hurt the heart unless he was close to him.
The battalion commander's younger brother suppressed these doubts in his heart and started to investigate Ma Renyi.
Unfortunately, the incident was handled flawlessly, and after Ma Renyi recovered from his injuries, he quickly returned to his hometown.
He thought that after returning to his hometown, he would retire, and the sky would be high and the road would be long, and the battalion commander's brother could not do anything to him.
But people are greedy.
After the incident calmed down for a while, Ma Renyi felt that the matter was over, and began to plan for himself again, wanting to climb to the top with the help of the battalion commander's two children, but he didn't expect...
In the end, it was all in vain.
Ma Renyi and several others were sentenced to life imprisonment, and Ma Renyi and Wu Pandi were sentenced to death and could be executed immediately.
Lin Yao was worried when she heard this. She knew that it was dangerous to carry out missions in the army. This was for the country and the people, and it was also an honor to be a family member.
Who could have thought that there would be so many passionate and patriotic soldiers like the battalion commander who did not fall on the road of charging into battle and defending their country, but were betrayed by spies like Ma Renyi and sacrificed?
Lin Yao admired him.
The family did not disturb Gu Shian, who was in a heavy mood, just as they had agreed.
But that night, the dishes at home were all Deputy Director Gu's favorites.
Old duck pot, fish ball soup, it was even more abundant than the Chinese New Year .
"Wow, all the food we eat today is my favorite, huh?"
Gu Doudou was heartless and didn't know anything. He was so happy that he squeezed his eyes at his sister.
Yuanyuan also laughed happily.
On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Gu Chunmei prepared a small pot of white wine, two pig trotters, covered them with a cloth bundle, and carried them to her parents' home as a New Year gift.
Lin Yao kept her at home to chat, while Zhang Cuilan and several children played in the house.
Gu Chunmei took things out of the basket. Zhang Cuilan asked why she bought so many things and scolded her daughter for not living a good life.
"Mom, this is just a lot. Pork is cheap this year, 65 cents per pound. My mother-in-law bought several pounds. We didn't bring any pork at home, so we used two pig trotters to make soup. Everyone in our family can drink some. The family has been tired for a year, so let's replenish ourselves."
These things were not enough for Gu Chunmei.
Zhang Cuilan nodded at her lady's forehead and went out happily.
Lin Yao brought a plate of sugar cakes and a pot of tea and invited Gu Chunmei to eat.
"It's cold outside, bury the sweet potatoes that my second uncle sent earlier and eat them later."
Lin Yao took out a few sweet potatoes and yams from his cloth bag, buried them in the stove, broke off a branch to turn over the sweet potatoes, and Yuanyuan imitated her mother, her chubby hands busying themselves.
Gu Chunmei took out the needle and thread she brought from home, and talked to Lin Yao in a casual manner.
"Are you really not going to celebrate the New Year at home this year?"
Lin Yao smiled, "Of course not. Brother Cheng and sister-in-law Xiujuan called us as soon as the New Year came, inviting our family to celebrate the New Year in Nan'an County. We had postponed it several times before, but this year we couldn't do it."
This is one reason. The second reason is that Ma Renyi's incident happened before, and the family wanted to go out to relax.
Zhang Cuilan and her husband didn't want to go. They are old and don't want to bother.
In recent years, the old Cheng family called Yunshui County as soon as the New Year came, inviting the Gu family to Beijing to celebrate the New Year. They said that they were grateful for the kindness of the Gu family in saving Xiao Ping'an, and secondly, the little girl Yuanyuan was very much loved by Cheng Gang and his wife. Cheng An also reminded his father in a low voice that it didn't matter if Dou Dou couldn't come, and Yuanyuan must come.
Gu Shian sneered when he heard this and hung up Cheng Gang's phone without any hesitation.
The old Cheng family is thinking about his daughter!
That’s right, Cheng Gang and his wife like all the children of the Gu family very much, especially the cute and chubby little girl Yuanyuan. Two years ago, when Cheng Gang and his wife came to visit the Gu family, Li Xiujuan was reluctant to leave and kissed Yuanyuan several times before leaving. She kissed the fat girl so much that she was so embarrassed that she asked her father why Aunt Xiujuan was so enthusiastic.
Lin Yao said that Xiujuan herself had no concubines and simply loved her own chubby concubine
. Deputy Director Gu didn’t think so.
However, this year, Deputy Director Gu finally nodded and agreed, and the family went to Nan’an County just to relax.
On the 29th of February, the four members of the Gu family packed their luggage and went to the train station to take the train to Nan’an County.
Along the way, Zhang Cuilan and her husband held their two little grandchildren and were reluctant to let go. "Doudou, you have to be polite when you go to other people's houses. Tell grandpa what books you want to read and grandpa will buy them for you when he comes back."
"Yuanyuan, you can't eat too much sugar when you get to Ping'an's house. It's not good for your teeth."
"........"
Along the way, the old couple kept chattering.
Lin Yao finally knew who the chatterbox in the family was from.
Seeing that the train was about to leave, Gu Mancang still looked reluctant. Zhang Cuilan glanced at him, "Old man, what are you doing? The children are not going away and will not come back. You kept talking all the way."
"Dad, don't worry, we will be back after the 11th."
Lin Yao said while holding Yuanyuan.
"Okay. Dad is waiting."
Everyone said goodbye reluctantly.
After getting on the train, Yuanyuan stretched out her chubby little hands to wave to her grandparents. With the sound of a whistle, the family boarded the train to Nan'an County.
Nan'an County has a lot of snow in winter, and there has been a heavy snowfall in the past few days. After sitting on the train for a day, the family finally arrived in Nan'an County.
Gu Shi'an looked outside through the train window and asked the family to wrap themselves up thicker so as not to get frozen after getting off the train.
Lin Yao wrapped the little girl into a fat ball, grabbed Gu Doudou who wanted to jump out of the train, and watched the little boy put on a leather hat, scarf, and leather gloves, and then looked at Deputy Director Gu. Hey, he had already dressed himself, so she felt comforted. Deputy Director Gu was still worry-free.
The family got off the train and followed the crowd out. Gu Shian carried the big and small bags, Yuanyuan held Lin Yao's hand, and they walked forward chattering with Doudou.
Cheng Gang's family of three had been waiting at the entrance of the train station. As soon as
the old Gu family of four walked out of the station, Cheng Gang saw Gu Shian in the crowd and waved his hand to greet them, "Old Gu, Old Gu, we are here, go this way!"
Gu Shian lowered his head and led his family to Cheng Gang's family of three. Cheng Gang and his wife also went forward to greet them.
Cheng Gang retired from the army three years ago and returned to his hometown. He is now the deputy director of the Political Department of Nan'an County. He looks the same as he did a few years ago. He is tall, thick-browed, and in a Type 58 military uniform. He is only about 30 years old. He looks a bit like Ping An and his son, but Ping An has a more scholarly air.
Ping An was displaced and suffered a lot in the hands of traffickers. Cheng Gang and his wife were sad and guilty, but fortunately they met the old Gu family, so their son could return home safely.
In the past few years, Cheng Gang called Yunshui County every now and then. Yuanyuan and Doudou were very familiar with him, so the little girl and her brother jumped over first, "Uncle Cheng!" "Yuanyuan!
"
"Doudou!"
Cheng Gang laughed and walked forward, holding Yuanyuan and spinning around. The fat girl was amused and giggled. Then he patted Gu Doudou's shoulder and looked him up and down, "Good, good, I haven't seen my Yuanyuan for a few years. She has grown so beautiful, and Doudou has grown so tall."
Gu Doudou laughed.
Deputy Director Gu's eyelids twitched: "..."
Who is your family!
That's the daughter of the Gu family!
Ping An walked behind. The teenage boy was handsome and elegant, with a calm and steady look that was not common among his peers. He called Lin Yao and Gu Shian, "Auntie, Uncle."
Doudou Yuanyuan also followed suit and called Li Xiujuan Auntie.
Li Xiujuan's eyes were filled with love and satisfaction, "Good children, Yuanyuan's little face is so pretty."
After not seeing each other for a few years, she originally thought that the two children of the Gu family would be more unrestrained and carefree. Now that she saw that the two children were good-looking and had well-dressed hats, she was even happier.
Lin Yao was carrying a big box in her hand. Cheng Gang greeted her and asked to help carry the box.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yao waved his hand and said that he couldn't carry it, and let Gu Shian carry it. .
If they were not a family, wouldn't this be a blow to their self-esteem?
Cheng Ganghuai insisted on mentioning it. Gu Shiantao smiled at him and said, "Deputy Director Cheng, do you really want to mention it?"
Cheng Gang said, "Of course, we brothers don't talk nonsense."
All right.
Lin Tao handed the big box over to Cheng Ganghuai. Cheng Ganghuai took it in his hand with full confidence, but he felt his hand sink and almost fell in the snow.
Cheng Ganghuai's mouth twitched, "Sister, what are you doing in it?"
Gu Doudou answered, "Uncle Cheng, it's just some food and drinks, not heavy."
Cheng Gang: "..."
Not heavy, he can hardly hold it, okay?
The courtyard where the Qin family lives is also a quadrangle courtyard. His family has few people, and it is more than enough for the four people of the Gu family to live in.
In the evening, after the family took a bath, Gu Shian leaned on the bed and read a book. After taking a bath, Lin Yao returned to the room with her hair that had not yet dried, and she was full of fragrance.
Seeing someone reading a book, I was curious and leaned over to take a look at "On the Armament of Modern Armies and National Defense Power".
Uh, it's such a profound book, I'm not interested.
Lin Yao was drying her hair in the room. Yuanyuan heard that Aunt Xiujuan was pregnant, so she ran to the next door with her brother. After a while, the little girl ran home, and her little face seriously wanted to discuss with her mother that she also wanted a little sister.
Lin Yao, who was drying her hair, paused and smiled, "My dear, this mother can't agree to you, don't think about a little sister."
The little girl was anxious and asked why.
Lin Yao pointed at Deputy Director Gu who was reading a book. The little girl suddenly realized something and said, "Mom, is Dad too old to give birth to a little sister?"
Gu Shian, who almost fell off the chair, said: "........"
When it was time to go to bed, Lin Yao finally got the story out of the little lady. It turned out that Xiujuan was chatting with the sisters-in-law in the alley. One of the sisters-in-law saw that Li Xiujuan's belly was round and must be a lady. She envied that she wanted a caring little lady even though she had only a bad boy in her family. Another sister-in-law smiled at her and said that your old man is too old to have children.
The little girl heard it.
Lin Yao suppressed her laughter and told this to Gu Shi'an. Deputy Director Gu twitched his mouth. For the first time, he felt that the fat lady he had raised since childhood had become a ventilated little cotton-padded jacket.
